Public water systems must demonstrate that their water
meets health-based standards by periodically monitoring
for the presence of specific contaminants. Approved
analytical methods must be
used when analyzing water
samples to meet federal
monitoring requirements or
to demonstrate compliance
with drinking water
regulations.

EPA reviews and approves methods
that can be used. Laboratories that
analyze these compliance samples
must be certified by EPA or the State.
EPA carries out a program to ensure
that laboratories are certified as qualified to conduct
analyses on drinking water samples. The SDWA Lab
Certification Program in Region 3 helps protect the health
of the 25 million people in the region served by community
water systems.
